Abstract
This study investigates the moderating influence of institutional quality on the relationship between green finance and sustainable development goals. The study takes data from 46 countries, including 22 developed and 24 developing countries, from 2013 to 2022. We use feasible generalized least square method for analyzing the data. Findings direct that green financing and institutional quality significantly enhance sustainable development goals. Further, regression outcomes also prove the moderating effect of institutional quality in our analysis. The interactive role of institutional quality significantly improves the influence of green finance on sustainable development goals. The strong quality of institutions certifies that investment in green finance is effectively allocated, strengthening their favorable impacts on social and environmental outcomes. Understanding this relationship is vital for policymakers and management to exploit the benefits of green finance investment in attaining sustainable development goals.

Papers that foster dialogue, innovation, and intellectual risk-taking in financial studies; as well as shed light on the interaction between finance and broader societal concerns are particularly appreciated. The Journal welcomes submissions that seek to expand the boundaries of academic finance and otherwise challenge the discipline. Papers studying finance using a variety of methodologies; as well as interdisciplinary studies will be considered for publication. Papers that examine topical issues using extensive international data sets are welcome. Single-country studies can also be considered for publication provided that they develop novel methodological and theoretical approaches or fall within the Journal''s priority themes.
